Rip-off Report Investigation:

Editor’s UPDATE: Positive Rating and Recognition has been given to Financial Freedom, D. BASHOR & Planet Antares for its Commitment to Excellence in customer service.

Rip-off Report’s investigation of Planet Antares uncovers an ongoing commitment to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect the company will always work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns, more importantly, executives at Planet Antares are concerned with the success of their distributors – and, Planet Antares is listening carefully to what its distributors are saying in their feedback. After all, when becoming creative to make things better, making changes for the benefit of the business is sometimes difficult, but worth the results in the long run.

One top executive of the company stated to Rip-off Report, “that following our 21-year proven program is critical to the success of our distributors. The company is proud to have assisted a growing number of home-based entrepreneurs."

Rip-off Report has confirmed that Planet Antares provides each distributor with their own personal coach and support staff. They’ll have the valuable expertise of an enthusiastic, highly focused team dedicated to meeting the needs of a distributor’s new business. The COO stated, “We understand that the only way to grow as a company is to stand behind our product and the opportunities it offers by the continued support of our program. We know that there is no guarantee that a distributor will perform or earn as well as statistics suggest, but I can assure you that we are highly committed to resolving any issues and helping our distributors with their success, who have followed our program requirements and the advice of their personal Coach.

It is our opinion that consumers wanting to be in their own business can feel confident in the fact that since 1987, Planet Antares has worked with thousands of distributors in Canada and the United States.

Planet Antares recognizes that complaints posted on Rip-off Report (true or not) are issues that need to be addressed and if handled correctly can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Rip-off Report’s Investigation of Planet Antares’ program, we found that the company makes every effort to reach problem resolution and a total commitment to their Business Builder Support program.

In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with Planet Antares Senior Management, Rip-off Report is convinced that the company has been and is committed to quality delivery of products and services resulting in total client satisfaction.

Dana Bashor Of Financial Freedom This con artist is up to it again with his vending machine scheme! Somewhere In California

I just received an unsolicited colorful mailing from this con man Dana Bashor and his ever-name changing company, this time around, he's calling it Financial Freedom (Google his name, please). His mailings are so persuasive and enticing by indicating you were chosen by him personally to be an owner of your own company because you are a leader and deserve 'financial freedom.' While some who really know me will debate that I am a leader, I actually started to like this guy. That is, until I realized when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Not only that, but it will take a heck of a lot more than well written propaganda to fool this native New Yorker.

Mr. Bashor also sent along a draft of my new business card, prominently displaying the term 'Owner' right next to my name. Wow, what would I have to do in order to achieve my well deserved financial freedom? It turns out he only wants to invite me to a seminar at a local hotel to impress me with his business savvy methods of generating huge ancillary income through my purchase of over-priced vending machines from his company. I have nothing to lose at this point, right?

The only problem is, Mr. D. Bashor has a documented history of fleecing people like you and me with his illegal and costly promises. In 1996 alone, he paid a one million dollar settlement to the FTC for fraudulent misrepresentation. Wow, who the hell in their right mind would pay such a high fine if they were a legitimate businessman, right? This guy is obviously a multi-millionaire, billionaire, perhaps, who can easily afford these occasional bumps in the road. Look up the names of his previous companies, 'Antares' and 'Natural Choice.' You will find a ton of negative data on this unscrupulous con man.

Let us New Yorkers unite to show this criminal he is not wanted here. I am sure there will be many people who show up at the hotel for his Free Manufacturer's Demonstration next week, but, hopefully, they are street savvy enough to know a well documented con man when they see, or listen, to one. A Pennsylvania news channel investigative team went undercover in 2002 to expose his unethical recruiting tactics there. Let's hope that a New York investigative team exposes this crook here too!

Heres another invitation....to one of his scam-a-thons!

I too received the same colorful propaganda from them with a business card stating 'Owner' next to my name....as if that is supposed to motovate me in 'investing' in his scam. The letter asks me to call to reserve my seat for this 'Free Private Manufacturer's Demonstration' at the DoubleTree Hotel Sacramento for May 16th, 17th or 18th.
